Default Programatically convert a .doc to a .tif

I need to convert a word .doc to a .tif.

I can do it programatically but dont know how to get the Document Image
Writer window closed.

Heres my code - after it runs, i'm left with the Microsoft Office Document
Imaging window showing my TIF. I dont want this displayed to the user.

______________________-
Dim objWordApp As New Word.Application
Dim sPrinter As String
Dim sSaveFile As String

objWordApp.Documents.Open filename:=sdocpath
sSaveFile = "Test.TIF"

With objWordApp
..Visible = False
sPrinter = .ActivePrinter
..ActivePrinter = "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on NE00:"
' Convert to a TIF
..ActiveDocument.PrintOut OutputFileName:=sSaveFile
..ActivePrinter = sPrinter
End With
objWordApp.Quit

ConvertToTIF = sdocpath
